"This magazine gives a chance for girls who are not professional models to experience being one," Roy said. "The magazine has an inspirational message of women doing great things in society, and it's great to be a part of that. It's nice that they put their primary focus on who a girl is and not on what she looks like. I'm not a model, and that isn't what I'm trying to do, but this has been a lot of fun."

The top-5 models as selected by online voters and the Gladys Magazine staff will be featured in the January edition of the magazine. For more on Roy, read some of her GoLocalWorcester pieces below.
